Lumikai was proud to be a sub-committee member at WAVES 2025, hosted by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting in Mumbai. We successfully hosted two sessions as part of the summit, which saw strong participation and engagement from across the media and entertainment ecosystem.
Our first session, “From Swipes to Stories: India’s Interactive Media Consumer Unlocked,” marked the launch of Lumikai’s latest consumer research report. Presented by Salone Sehgal and Aditya Deshpande, the session shared insights from over 3,000 mobile users across India. Mr. Shuji Utsumi, President and COO of SEGA, opened the session with his remarks on India’s growing importance in the global gaming landscape.
The second session, “Billion Dollar Bets: Investor View on Gaming’s Next Frontier,” brought together Othman Alhokail, Founder and Managing Partner, Merak Capital, Deepen Parikh Partner, Courtside Ventures, and Shivanandan Pare, Head of Corporate Development, Gameskraft, in a panel moderated by Salone Sehgal. The discussion covered trends, capital flows, and market shifts in India and global gaming.
Thank you to WAVES and WAVEX for the platform. The sessions were insightful and led to engaging conversations for the members of the ecosystem, policy makers, young founders, and stakeholders in attendance.
At Lumikai, we continue to pioneer, catalyse, and shape the future of interactive media in India.

It’s fantastic to see Lumikai actively shaping conversations around India’s interactive media consumer and the future of gaming at WAVES 2025. The panel insights about capital flow and market trends were especially timely. As gaming trends evolve, I’d love to see more discussions around casual games like Cookie Clicker , which have played a major role in engaging new users.
Enjoyed Lumikai's insightful sessions at WAVES 2025! From Swipes to Stories unveiled crucial consumer insights, while Billion Dollar Bets explored gaming's future. Reminded me of the engaging simplicity of Slope Game, but with much higher stakes! India's gaming scene is buzzing, with growing importance globally. Great discussions on capital flows and market shifts.
